The ancient secret land of Alxa has a warm and broad chest like a mother, allowing her children to work freely in her arms like lambs, donkeys or camels.
With the blue-and-white Mongolian roof buildings illuminated by modern neon lights, Bayin at night is truly worthy of its nickname of Little Beijing.
When I was in Alxa, I accidentally stayed in the area of ??the Mongolian Palace. But at night, the palace courtyard turned off the lights early. The lively scene of the princes and nobles in the past was no longer there, replaced by the palace. The morning market of strange stones and cistanche in the square.
After passing through the hustle and bustle, I walked alone into Yanfu Temple on Wangfu Street. The cold air in the courtyard in the early morning made people shiver.
This is a Tibetan Buddhist temple. It is said that the bell was cast in the fifty-fifth year of Qianlong's reign (1790). Jue, at this moment, although I can no longer listen to the morning bells and evening drums of Eastern Buddhism, I still feel a sense of solemnity and awe when I see the gorgeous decoration on the roof of the main hall.
However, I prefer to associate my days in Alxa with the boundless desert. Those tall Bactrian camels, the strong petal footprints left by unknown wild beasts, the herdsmen with turbans and big masks on their heads like pregnant women, the sparse or dense Haloxylon ammodendron, white thorn and alkaline wood. , the horizon connected to the sky, the fiery red sunset on the horizon, the black spots gradually disappearing in the field of vision, or the mirage appearing in the distance in a trance... All the images and pictures related to the desert constitute the image of what I see before me. The curiosity and fascination generated by this unfamiliar place.
When I arrived in Alxa, what I wanted to see more was the vast desert, which covered the warm and peaceful desert. What I never expected was that what would satisfy my passionate desire would be wild desert surfing again and again.
On the second day after arriving in Alxa, I went with the project team to a gacha in the Ulan Buh Desert. Under the scorching sun, we boarded the newly picked-up Beijing Jeep and headed towards the depths of the Ulan Buh desert. The driver used to take tourists to desert surfing in the Moon Lake Scenic Area.
There is a section of sand dunes on the road that is very suitable for desert surfing. When the car stops for a while, standing on the desert, the sight is full of pure golden color. The ups and downs, boundlessness, unpredictable changes and spectacular scenery are the inevitable feelings of those who are immersed in the scene.
The sun shines on the curved sand dunes that are gentler than women's curves, and the eyes are full of quiet and gentle light. Wherever the breeze passes, countless layers of sand ripples spread out like waves.
After getting out of the car, I took off my shoes and started to have close contact with the desert. Stepping on the soft and hot sand with bare feet brings a different feeling to my heart.
With his feet stuck in the sand, he ran hard and cheered. Walking on the high sand ridge, the fine sand on the steep side pours down like mercury, which makes people think endlessly.
As we got closer to the desert, the driver began to deflate the wheels. It turned out that this was needed to increase the friction of the wheels and was a necessary lesson before going off-road.
Desert surfing is about to begin, and the group becomes busy. Fasten your seat belt and look forward to it in a state of excitement and nervousness. I saw the car start to increase the accelerator and rush up along the skeletal desert spine. With the exciting screams of the people on the car, the car rushed into the clouds at the climax. For a moment, I saw that this was a series of difficult and dangerous "S" "Shaped sand slopes are like roller coaster tracks connected one after another. After the moment of fear, there are waves of screams and excitement.
You must know that the slope is at least 60 degrees. If you drive carelessly, your car will roll over and you will be on your back. However, as everyone knows, when you are worried, you can only hold the handle or the arm of your companion tightly.
In suspense and screaming, they finally made it to the next level in a daze, but everyone was so shocked that their faces turned pale and they were stunned. When the car stopped on a flat spot, the driver looked at us who were all pale and asked, are you still coming?
I don’t know that the girl still had more to say, and said: Come again! Surfing continues, left and right, climbing up and downhill, flat and steep, one wave after another, turning the river upside down, truly desert surfing.
Who said life is always like climbing a hill? I feel that life is like surfing in the desert, but the highs and lows alternate too quickly, leaving no time for people to remember.
After the first time, everyone has gradually adapted to it.
Suddenly, the driver turned on the music, which was wild rock music. Accompanied by the roaring sound, he began to circle and fly in the steeper sand piles.
That kind of excitement and feeling is far inferior to surfing in the sea. I saw that he was calm, talking and laughing, more like a helmsman who was sure of victory in the sea.
Next, I became obsessed with desert surfing and refused to give up every opportunity to surf. Especially the surfing in the desert next to the racecourse was extremely exciting.
It was my first time to experience desert surfing. I watched the off-road vehicles draw beautiful arcs in the desert, leaving the sand dunes far behind. I can’t help but wonder how an off-road vehicle can travel in the desert with such ease.
Driving an off-road vehicle to surf in the desert is more like a speed car performance on a desert track. It is difficult to perform on stage without years of hard training.
In fact, life is nothing more than surfing in the desert, with ups and downs in the sand waves. There are peak moments and troughs. Destiny is twists and turns in this ups and downs. The peak is temporary, it is the starting point of the fall, and the fall is the accumulation of strength, so there is no need to be attached to the peak and don't be frustrated by the trough.
Go your own way and do your own thing, as long as you live up to your conscience. You may not get it if you work hard, but you will definitely get it if you don’t work hard. The important thing is to maintain a balance. As long as you don’t fall, There will always be a moment when you reach the top, but you must also remember that without a victorious general, you cannot always be at the top...
